I'm in tears right now, as I just read this for the first time. My heart goes out to Clancey. She was an incredible women. I hold many wonderful memories with her, and will always hold a special place for her in my heart. She is with our father above now. I trust and believe in the lord and know she is at peace.

I know this message is very late, but I just found out. I remember when Clancey was born. The perfect combination of Candy and Bill, but there was no denying that little pug nose came from her mom.Clancey was one of the first babies born to our group from Dike, many would follow.

I know this message is very late, but I just found out. I remember when Clancey was born. The perfect combination of Candy and Bill, but there was no denying that little pug nose came from her mom.Clancey was one of the first babies born to our group from Dike, many would follow. But those dancing eyes and infectious smile belonged to her and her alone.We never dreamed in the days of our youth that anything or anyone would come into our lives that could change everything about us. Children have that power and no matter how old they or we get, that special love never changes.I did not see Clancey a lot during her high school days and adulthood, but when our paths crossed I knew it was her immediately because that smile and those eyes gave her away.I wish I knew the right thing to say or do that would ease your broken heart, but sadly I don't. All I can do is offer you this:There truly are angels on this earth, while we have no control over how long they stay, their impact will be with us always. I believe this precious angel was called back because someone there neededa beautiful girl with a smile that could light up a room, dancing eyes that could make you feel there is hope and a kind heart that could make you feel safe to take her out stretched hand.Only this little pug nosed angel could answer that call and how very lucky they are to have her. Candy, you and Bill have made the ultimate sacrifice to share your angel and only you can know how truly painful it is to do so.

It's funny when I saw this picture my mind went to Bert before even reading the article. No doubt she is having many laughs with her Grandma Sires. Heaven is lucky to have another Sires angel. I'm heart sick for the family. I hope peace can find you all. Ilah
